Stan Lee Gets Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame Today

Stan Lee, creator of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and X-Men among other comics superheroes, will get a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday morning (January 4th, 2011), a week after his 88th birthday.

"I'm pretty proud of the fact that some of the stories I wrote so many years ago are still being read and hopefully enjoyed by the public and people are making motion pictures based on them, and television series and even a Broadway show," Lee said.

Meanwhile, Lee is also working with NHL to create 30 new superheroes based on the league's hockey teams. According to NHL, the Guardian Project is "a creative concept that organically and authentically incorporates various NHL elements but is not set in the world of hockey."

Three characters have just been revealed. The first is called "The Penguin," who has super-maneuverability, a magnetic suit, a glacial sled and ice missiles. The second is called "The King," who has accelerated healing, super strength, a force field, and a sword that creates earthquakes. The third is "The Hurricane," who has command of the weather.

Watch the NHL All-Star game on January 30th to see a preview of the characters.

The Penguin is funny. It's like a mix of Frost, Cyclops. and like monash said Cyclops.

Haha, and that name The Penguin. It's like the "the" is what distinguishses it from the DC comics character. Still thats who came to mind when i first heard the name and I still think he should change that half-assed name.

The first is called "The Penguin," as the other guy in the other company, "The King," who has accelerated healing, super strength, a force field, and a sword that creates earthquakes, at least you didnt call "The Wolv", and well you put him a sword and a force field, thats original. "The Hurricane," as "Storm" please Stan get new ideas rigth now, I love the work of SL but you have a lot of recicables ideas.

NFL Superpro was a short-lived comic book series published by Marvel Comics. Produced in collaboration with the NFL and written by Fabian Nicieza, the series started publication in 1991 and ended after 12 issues. The hero of this comic is Phil Grayfield, an ex-NFL-American football player who survived a freak accident and wears a near-indestructible football uniform.

sounds like a terrible idea for superheroes... as did that football idea that came about in the 90's that Max just mentioned... Jim Lee is a great artist though. anyway back on subject, Stan needs to just retire. every new idea I here from him just sounds kinda dumb.

congrats stan, for when you were in your hay day, you truely were a bad ass.... and honestly even though I think this NHL thing is a f*cking joke, atleast the man still works. even if its not original.This just shows that stans work is still in demand, and will probably be for along time...

Please kill Stan Lee with a swift and mighty hand. May your vengeance on his hackneyed swilling of a talent for hamming, mugging in cameos and creating characters with strong similarities to other copywrited characters because his Altzheimers and brutual dementia is setting in, along with his Hiemie money-pinching, known for years to be legendary after his years of anally fisting and jerking off into Jack Kirby's screaming mouth.

May your mercy be lacking and your anger both strong and as severe as his melatonin-spotted, aviator shade is to anyone with decent vision, soon before they go blind trying to tear their eyes from the very sockets they lie therein.

NHL supes, so bad it's funny. Maybe people who made transmorphers and snakes on a train will make a movie about it. Stan, go to honorable retirement, you probably don't need money for youthful pleasures, and do not ruin your name so late in the game.
